A new device helps parents monitor teen drivers

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- This week is known as "Teen Driver Safety" Week, and in Maine, this week has been a particularly deadly one for teenagers.

Two teens have died in two separate crashes in Oxford County. 18-year-old Jordan Cole died Tuesday night when he crashed his Jeep on Greenwood Road. On Saturday, 16-year-old Danielle Ranger crashed her car into a tree in the town of Peru.

Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens 16-19, but to help try to prevent these deadly accidents from happening, AAA has created a wireless device called "AAA Onboard". Pat Moody and Cletus Nunes from AAA were on the Morning Report to explain how this device works.
